WV seems to have some young talent coming through the program. I saw the freshman recently and they had a nice combo of athletic ability, size, and shooters.

What's going to benefit Walton (as it pretty much does any "A" school) is the fact that a lot of these kids are going to be seeing double the playing time. You'll have 8th and 9th graders playing freshman and jv games, and 9th and 10th graders playing both jv and varsity.

 

So, you'll end up with kids "playing up" versus their normal grade, and getting a lot of valuable experience. Then when they're juniors and seniors, they'll have a lot more "seasoning" to them, versus someone who just started playing varsity ball the year before.

 

It doesn't always work out, but I'll be excited to see what Sandlin can do in another 3 years, as she's already getting "props" as an 8th grader!!

I have seen the Sandlin girl that plays for WV a few of times this year. I can't believe she is only an 8th grader. She may be the best all around player that WV has. She seems like a leader on the floor, and always seems to put up big numbers (points and rebounds). This girl is going to be really good. Good luck to her and the WV team for the remainder of the season.

 

I wouldn't go as far as best all around player. Don't get me wrong, she is good, especially for her age but as of right now I wouldn't call her their best all around player. But the girl can flat out play. IMO if Dixon wasn't in the mix Sandlin would be hands down their best player. But the wonderful thing about basketball is it is a team sport so individual rankings dont matter, team rankings do. :banana:
